ABSTRACT:
A termination for a fiber optic cable has a connector and an optical fiber member having flexible buffer and optical fiber with the connector comprising an alignment ferrule having tubular passageway for encircling the flexible buffer and optical fiber and a tip with centrally-disposed aperture therethrough for receiving an end of the fiber from the tubular passageway. The termination further includes a crimping body of deformable, elastic material intimately surrounding the flexible buffer and optical fiber and attached by crimping thereto and engaged by compression fitting within the tubular passageway and against the walls of the tubular passageway. The compression fit provides a fit resistant to disengagement.
